Last year, Prince of Persia tried its hand at a sidescrolling Metroidvania action-adventure experience with the excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Soon, it could be joined by another major AAA franchise attempting something similar- in the form of none other than God of War, surprisingly enough.

Rumours and leaks have been claiming for a few months that a smaller God of War side story featuring a return to the series’ Greece era setting is in development. Apparently, as per prominent leaker Tom Henderson, that game is going to be a 2.5D Metroidvania action-adventure title. Taking to Twitter, the leaker recently claimed that he has been “hearing a lot of scuttlebutt” that the game will be announced soon, and that it will be a “much smaller” experience than previous reports may have suggested. 

Interestingly, journalist Jeff Grubb chimed in as well, seemingly corroborating Henderson’s claims with a tweet that said simply, “yeah.” 

With a State of Play presentation happening imminently and Summer Game Fest following not long afterward, it should be interesting to see whether we get an official announcement for this purported God of War spinoff in the imminent feature. Stay tuned for more updates.
